Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of all time and now he can add author to his credit. His book, Uncommon Type: Some Stories, was released yesterday.  To celebrate this latest milestone in his career, we have compiled some of our favorite quotes from Hanks’ films.

1. “Are you crying? There’s no crying in baseball!” A League of Their Own

   

2. “Reach for the sky!” – Toy Story

   

3. “Houston, we have a problem” – Apollo 13

8. “Live still, I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god… that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the Earth a heaven. I am love!… I am love.” Philadelphia

   

9. “Things that happen in this world… it’s a wonder God allows it.” – The Green Mile
